Re: [newbie] OT - Request for advice on Windows XP
Service pack 2 is garbage, I have seen numerous issues after installing it on clients machines. Wireless networks stop working, machines that just keep shutting down and restarting. Here are some solutions for you: Adaware, Spybot, cws shredder and hijack this for spyware and such. Clamwin for virus protection.0 ZoneAlarm or cheap router for firewall. Here is how you remove as much spyware as possible: 1. install and update adaware, spybot and clamwin, turn off system restore and reboot into safemode, after unplugging network adapter. 2. delete all temp files and temporary internet files and cookies. this must be done for all users who have a login on the computer. 3. run adaware, spybot and cws shredder. run clamwin. do this for each account. 4. go to trendmicros free online scan and let it remove or fix anything that is found. After all this crap you should be good to go! Contact off list if you need more help. On Aug 24, 2004, at 10:57 AM, Lyvim Xaphir wrote: --- Kaj Haulrich [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear list... I am sorry for bothering you with this, but knowing that some of you have Windows on your box, I rely on your forgiveness : A week ago I had to buy a new PC for one of my daughters (14 years old). She absolutely needed Windows in order to run some special, school-related apps. The PC came with WinXP pre-installed. The first thing I did was to install Mozilla, OpenOffice and some sort of firewall, called ZoneAlarm. Now, I thought it was safe Hi, Kaj. Good to hear from you. The thing is that if you applied XP update patches online *before* you installed Zonealarm, that is not good. Because of the weaknesses in XP it is possible for XP to get infected just by sitting on the network. M$ messenger has a security hole that allows trojans to get in unless it is updated or killed. Zonealarm is the best as far as I am concerned, I think you made a good decision there. Suddenly, when she tries to send an e-mail (from within Mozilla, of course, I'm not THAT stupid), up pops a message from our ISP saying that the box is compromized, accordingly the smtp-server won't accept the mail. In fact, her IP was blacklisted. Some on-line security scans, revealed no less than 159 trojans, worms and viruses ! This seems like an unholy lot IF you didn't perform online updates. If you did then maybe not. What I'm thinking is that it's possible it might have arrived with the infestation. Depends on how much work you did online before you installed the firewall. Usually infestations occur when the user installs XP while online and/or peforms online service updates. (NOT a good idea) However your machine came with XP preinstalled, so After heavy googling around, I purchased a spyware/trojan scanner called XoftSpy, which cleaned most of the shit. But nevertheless, a spyware trojan keeps coming in (SAHAgent). No matter what I do. (The bugger doesn't show up in ControlPanel -- Remove software). I had a friend yesterday purchase one of these before I could stop him. There is a spyware scanner called Ad-aware that is free and will do an excellent job of cleaning your box -- http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/ Well, I know next to nothing about Windows, but before I subscribe to a windows-list (which I would hate, really), I would like to ask if you can recommend : 1. A good, reliable firewall for Windows (preferably OSS and free) ? Zonealarm is good 2. A spyware/trojan/worm cleaner capable of removing all malware ? Ad-aware has won numerous awards and doesn't cost you a dime for the standard version. I think it's the best 3. Shutting down the whole kaboodle and wait for SP2 ? When you do updates, the only thing I can recommend is what I do for customers. Generally I download the network version of sp1a service pack so that the XP box does not do any updating over the web. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/sp1/network.mspx After that, don't do any more updating. SP2 will hose your box. I did try a suggestion by Bryan Phinney that is out there on the web for free called Autopatcher, but so far I haven't been able to get an Autopatcher installation in place that's not hosed. That may be because of the particular release of XP I happen to have, I don't know. I look forward to when either I or they can get it working because Autopatcher is a good idea. Anyways, my personal advice is to use the standard sp1a service pack and then stop right there. You should also go to sourceforge and download the virus scanner darling of the Linux world -- http://sourceforge.net/projects/clamwin/ ClamAV. IMO this scanner is better than Symantec's scanner, without the bloat. It's lightweight, fast, does one thing and does it well; exactly what a virus scanner should be. Linux Journal just gave it an Editor's Choice award. Don't be confused, this is a native Linux project that's been cross-compiled for the win32 world. So yes you will see a larger Linux project

Re: [newbie] about to give up
No. I think the problem is the nic is not initialized. He said he was seeing initizing of eth0 failed error... John McQuillen wrote: Hi Greg, This is getting to be a long story, so I'll only include the essentials from previous mails... If interested, here is what is in the modems internal software: PPP (VPI 8, VCI 35) ipa ipa 150.101.208.30 255.255.0.0 eth0 10.0.0.138 255.0.0.0 loop 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 auto DHCP domain name :lan hostname: user 10.0.0.1 Okay, we have an external address (150.101.208.30) and an Internal address (10.0.0.138). Do you have 10.0.0.138 as your default gateway on the Mandrake box? In /etc/sysconfig/network you should have 'GATEWAY=10.0.0.138' and 'GATEWAYDEV=eth0' When installing Mandrake, I have selected (when setting up net/internet) the ethernet option, and selected bootp/dhcp instead of entering any details. This is how Red Hat is configured (ethernet connection/dhcp) and works no probs. After this, booting into MK9, internet does not work. When it is booting, the detection of eth0 fails. Running ifconfig in MK9, shows up only the lo details, and eth0 is not running. Is your RedHat 8 installation running its own DHCP server? Do you have any messages in '/var/log/messages|grep -i dhcp' on the Mandrake box? As a result, obviously no connection. Does not matter how many different ways I configure the connection through the wizard, it still does not work, even when I select ADSL, and choose DHCP. If I run ifup eth0, it fails. When I run 'ifconfig eth0 -pointopoint 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0', it brings eth0 up, but still does no good, and when I run the internet wizard, if knocks eth0 out, and puts it down again. M, the way I read the -pointopoint keyword in the docs for ifconfig, what you are doing here is attempting to set the address for the other end of the link. Now, I haven't been following this thread until now, so I'm not sure if you've been told specifically to use -pointopoint, but I don't think that this is doing what you want... When I bring up ifconfig in RH8, these are the addresses that come up: eth0 inet addr :10.0.0.1 Bcast 10.255.255.255 Mask 255.0.0.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 lo inet addr : 127.0.0.1 Mask 255.0.0.0 To me that suggests that RH is using 10.0.0.1 as gateway. If I'm wrong, please someone correct me. Here, RH is 10.0.0.1, the gateway should be the internal address of the router, which is 10.0.0.138. Please note with the above, that when running ifconfig eth0 -pointopoint 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 in mandrake, the 'UP BROADCAST RUNNING' section has a word 'NOTRAILERS' in it. Does this have a critical part to play?? This is one difference between the RH8 and MK9 ifconfig display. Google tells me that NOTRAILERS means that the interface doesn't support trailer encapsulation. Don't ask me what that means :) I don't think it is important here, however. Anne, as far as I know, the eth0's address is automatically assigned? (dhcp) and being the only device on the network in redhat, it gets an address of 10.0.0.1. The router/modems address is 10.0.0.138. I use this address (when eth0 is working) in my browser to get into the configuration of the router. This brings up the routers menu (which is web site design based) to configure everything. Forgive me from snipping from here to the end, but I think that the main problem here is DHCP. Your router needs to get its external address by DHCP from your ISP, but if it is also serving DHCP to the lan, you could have a conflict if you are also serving DHCP in Mandrake. This may not be the case, however, but I would try the following: Turn off dhcpd in Mandrake and let your nic get an IP address from the DHCP server in the router, if it has one... Otherwise, set a static IP on your nic of 10.0.0.1 and make sure that your gateway is set to 10.0.0.138 and dev eth0. I hope this helps, Kind regards, John...

Well, he states he can read the files so it is not NTFS. Root should be able to read and write, to do this as a user you need to edit the /etc/fstab entry. Can not help with that because I do not have Windows on my machine. man mount for details. The option, from memory, is umask=0. Or you could use user=nnn,umask=002 if you are the only one going to write to it. Or mess about with group ownership and permissions if you want more complicated control of access.

I just got Samba working on my home network, I used Webmin to set it up and boy was it easy! One problem with my Mandrake box, I have a 30 gig drive mounted as /public but Webmin wont let me share it. On my Redhat box I tried sharing a directory and it went well. Is there a bug with the version of Webmin included with Mandrake 7.2? My version is 0.84-1.1. I would recommend anyone trying to set up Samba to try webmin if they are newbies.

I am not sure on this but kernel 2.2.17 does not recognize ATA 100
controllers. You'll have to use a 2.4 kernel to get support for that.

M/B: ASUS A7V/KT133
Issue: Linux Mandrake Doesn't Undertand the Promise ATA/100 on the
M/B
Here's the procedure I used:
* NOTE: This procedure ASSUMES that you attach the disk to the
primary UATA/100 device
1) Disconnect the UATA/100 Win2K disk
2) Attach the new disk to the IDE controller
{NOT the UATA 100 controller - there are 2 sets of disk
controller ports on the M/B)
3) Drop the Mandrake 7.2 CD into the CD/R drive.
4) Boot the system from CD
5) Do a bare bones install of Mandrake {don't even bother with X)
6) After the install is done, log in as root
7) Execute the following command: % cat /proc/pci
8) Somewhere in there, you will get a piece of output that has 5 hex
addresses listed. These should be the I/O range for the UATA/100
controller. In my case the first two were 0x9000 and 0x8800.
9) Record those numbers.
10) Shut down
11) Disconnect the drive from the IDE controller and hook it to the
UATA controller.
12) Reconfigure the BIOS to boot from CD first rather than HDD.
13) Boot the box up - when the first Mandrake screen comes up, press
'F1' to get into the alternate boot screen.
14) At the command prompt provided, type in 'linux
ide2=0xy,0xz' computing y and z as: high start address from
step 8, and z as the second start address + 2. On my box this turned
out to be ide2=0x9000,0x8802. 15) At this point, everything should
be happy, and you can go ahead with a full install.
16) When you get to configuring GRUB, use the same numbers you used
in step 14.
I haven't yet tried patching the kernel - that's next. But this was
enough to get moving forward.

The reason I ask is that the only CD-RW drive listed at Panosonics Web is a PCMCIA drive. All their other recordable drives are DVD-RAM. There is no listing at all for 7585 drive but they do list a 24 speed CR-585 CD-ROM drive. This could be why neither Linux or Windows recognizes it as a CD-RW because it is not.

Re: [newbie] Installing licq or kxicq
I am not sure what you might be doing wrong,but I have an easier way to go about this.Both programs are in the folder RPMS on your Mandrake cd.Use the package manager to install untill you get more comy with the tar gz format.All the files you need are on the cd.Also check out www.rpmfind.net for more easy to install packages.I would use Kpackage to install the programs.

I just installed Mandrake7, and I am trying to install kxicq or licq. I unarchived the licq files and when I do a ./configure I get the following: configure: error: You need to have the libstdc++ headers installed So I downloaded the libstdc++ libraries but got an error when compiling those as well (I can include that if needed). Now when installing kxicq it runs the ./configure fine but when I do a make, I get the following: ../../kxicq/kconfigdlg/kconfigitem.h:34: iostream.h: No such file or directory make[3]: *** [kxrc.lo] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/root/kxicq-01112000/plugins/russianConverter' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/kxicq-01112000/plugins' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/kxicq-01112000' make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2 Anyone know what the problem is? Am I doing something wrong in compiling them (since I am relatively new to linux)? Thanks for the help in advance. Britt __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
